Kona 2024 EU - start and stop charging

[StephaneG38]

Good morning, I own a Kona 2024 and I live in France. Can you add the possibility like on the Bluelink application to be able to:

• start and stop charging
• modify the charging current (60%, 90% or 100%) thanks in advance Stephane

[cdnninja]

Start stop exists today. Current doesn't however target soc does.

[StephaneG38]

Hello @cdnninja I don't have these functions on my integration.

[cdnninja]

As per the readme they are services. Charge limits are the sliders you see on screen.

[StephaneG38]

I can't start or stop charging because there are no controls to do so. Is this normal or is it due to my installation?

[cdnninja]

Normal. It is a service you can call though.

[StephaneG38]

How do I call these services?

[StephaneG38]

I think I found

[StephaneG38]

On the other hand, I don't see the possibility of modifying the charging current (60%, 90% or 100%)

[cdnninja]

That's correct. We don't have charge current.

[StephaneG38]

Are there plans to add it?

[cdnninja]

If someone sniffs the traffic from the native app and creates it sure. I don't have a Kia anymore nor am I in EU. This is region specific.

It wouldn't be too hard to add once someone sniffs the data though.

[StephaneG38]

I understand. I don't know how to sniff them but if you have a link to a tutorial I would like to try.

[StephaneG38]

I just tested starting and stopping charging but unfortunately neither works.

[StephaneG38]

Good morning @cdnninja Can you tell me an Android application to sniff the data sent by the Bluelink application?

[cdnninja]

I think it is in the wiki. The cliff notes are Knox emulator with Charles proxy.

Android 6 non rooted was best success historically.

[StephaneG38]

Oups sorry I hadn't seen the wiki I'll have a look and try Thank you very much @cdnninja

[cdnninja]

All good! I'm on my phone so can't easily drop a link.

[StephaneG38]

I've just looked at the Wiki, it's not easy! I don't know if I can do it! Don't you have any contacts in Europe who own a Kona 2024 and could do it?

[cdnninja]

Nope. This is a volunteer based project. As such someone local would need to come forward to do it.

[StephaneG38]

Ok I will try thank you for your help

[StephaneG38]

Hello @cdnninja I have a error when i start apk-mitm : decoding.log encoding-aapt.failed.log encoding-aapt2.failed.log

thank you for your help !

[StephaneG38]

I tried with the UVO file from kia and it works:

The problem is that for the Hyndai KONA I have Bluelink and not UVO!

[StephaneG38]

The UVO APK file was wrong I start again with another one that seems OK

[cdnninja]

I'm not familiar with that tool.

[StephaneG38]

I've just patched Bluelink XAPK and installed it on a second tel so as not to conflict with mine. The application doesn't seem to want to start. I'll continue the process and keep you informed

[cdnninja]

I have heard patching does that which is why the external approach I referenced sometimes works better.

[StephaneG38]

Actually it’s not simple. What exactly is the external approach that is simpler?
